Disney: the true and touching story of this dog will thrill the whole family

Discover this true and moving story, that of the Greyfriars’ dog Bobby. In Scotland, the shepherd Jock, old and sick, finds himself unemployed. He goes to Edinburgh where Bobby follows him, a dog belonging to his former employers, who particularly likes him. Alas, Jock dies in the night, and nothing will stop Bobby from watching over the grave of the man he considered his true master. He stayed there for 14 years.

From 10 years old

We are facing a somewhat unusual animal friendship film, since unlike Fidèle Vagabond in which the ending is tragic, here it is the starting point and the more time passes, the more we move towards the better, this which will be appreciated by the youngest.

Walt Disney Pictures

It is shown in the film that the law is harsh, but it is the law. Because he has no master and no one pays for his license, Bobby may well be integrated into the life of the neighborhood, but he risks ending up in the pound and even losing his life. Sometimes the rules are absurd, and children have to get involved for the situation to change.

What they will like:

• The Skye Terrier is adorable and we want to cuddle him, he is the most loyal of animals.
• The story may be sad, but Bobby is not alone because he is adopted by the neighborhood children who will help him out of trouble.
• The good-natured rivalry between Mr. Traill the restaurateur and Mr. Brown the cemetery employee.
• Adults are incapable of resolving a complex situation because they put their ego into it. Children take action and resolve problems.

What may worry them:

Walt Disney Pictures

• The first quarter of an hour is very sad, with old Jock sick, then found dead when he wakes up. The dog is sad, and we had time to become attached to his master. We dwell on mourning and see the grave a lot.
• Bobby is risking his life in the lawsuit against the city and the situation seems too complex to resolve. Fortunately, everything ends well!
